Our place in the universe

All our belief systems arise to resolve one question – where do I fit in the universe? Who am I, how did I get here, what am I supposed to do?

At the worst, these systems have been twisted by evil, heartless people to justify truly inhuman and atrocious things. At their best, the belief systems to which we resonate bring out the very best in us – help and guide us to become truly wonderful beings.

Each of us is on the journey to find our own answers; I can’t say what those answers are for anyone else, but one of the laws of thermo-dynamics keeps coming into my head – energy can neither be created nor destroyed. We are essentially creatures of self-aware energy, and I wonder.
